@MakersHour A2 I would love to fast forward tidying up. I can get very ‘stuff-blind’ and find it hard to sort and tidy. #MakersHour

A2 cleaning the workshop. Working in a shared makerspace, I have to clean up at the end of every workshop session. This is time consuming. Would be great to spend this up.

Hmm, that's difficult one. I sew by hand because I prefer it, so even though a machine would be quicker, I don't use it.

I suppose when it comes to miniaturing, glue setting is a slow point. I don't necessarily want superglue speed, but perhaps a little faster than PVA.

Perhaps I need to speed up all the other stuff, that gets in the way of making!

@quixoticgeek @MakersHour We’re all saying the same thing!!! Tidying is boring and feels like a waste of time.

@MakersHour I am currently trying to show down my making, because I enjoy making clothes, but I have to many clothes already (and making clothes for others is stressful). But tracing and cutting out patterns is pretty tedious and time consuming, so I wouldn't mind if that could be faster.

A2: Drying! I have an affliction called VLP - Very Little Patience. Whether it’s glue, paint, varnish, oil or anything else that requires not being wet, I just want it done so I can carry on.

@MakersHour #MakersHour A2: The process of resting and recovery. I spend too much time achy and exhausted.

@MakersHour
Q2: what to speed up?

A2: decision making. I'm very prone to analysis paralysis. When the actual making is slow, that can be a nice thing.

(And from other responses, yeah. Faster cleanup would be nice too. But decision making would still by my #1 thing to do faster)

Right now... the speed of my shitty old 3d printer!!

@tschundler
I can't do that 'Just start making' thing as I need to think through almost every step and problem before I can start. But when I do start I can whizz through as I know exactly what needs doing.

However, it does come down the 'When I do start' stage. That can sometimes be a long way down the line if I don't have a completion date to work to.

The number of iterations it takes to get something im satisfied with. I get frustrated by the thing in my hand not matching the design in my head.
